Follow Friday # 5

Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Rachel of Parajunkee and Alison of Alison Can Read! It's a great way to meet new blogger friends!

This weeks question is:
How has your reading habits changed since you were a teen? or If you are still a teen what new genres are you in love with currently?
A:  When I was a teen I would only read when I had too. Except for To Kill A Mockingbird, I hated every book that my English teacher forced me to read. It wasn't until I graduated college that I really started to love reading. There are so many awesome YA books out today that I wish were around ten years ago when I was a teenager.

  4. New follower. guess I'm the odd one. I loved reading as a teen. I had an awesome teacher who made small book groups in the class and we pretty much chose what we wanted to read and then we would get together in our groups to discuss them.

  5. I loved reading as a teen. But I did hate absolutely every single book I was forced to read in English class. Until senior year when I read The Count of Monte Cristo, totally weird since I was already a paranormal girl!

    Here's my Friday Hops

    Have a GREAT weekend!

  6. I agree, so many great YA books out today that just were not around when I was a teenager. I always loved reading though, even as a really young kid.

  7. I agree. I may have read back when I was a teenager had we had the type of YA books we do now. I'm glad YA has become so big!
